I made my first go at talking to a Square merchant to turn on Bitcoin payments.
This was in South Carolina and the coffee shop was actually owned by a mother son from Costa Rican. I explained to them how easy Square makes it for them to accept bitcoin and how their location would likely be added to a map where other bitcoin users would seek out their business.
By the end of the conversation I could definitely see the spark of interest in the son especially when he told me that a lot of the other fees on Square were eating away at their earnings. He was concerned he lacked the understanding about bitcoin but I assured him he’d learn at his own pace and accepting it as real money will be the fastest way to learn.
10/10 recommend opening up conversations with merchants
